This is about as good as it gets, 30 songs that pretty much (with one or two exceptions) shake, shimmy, and generally rock out about as well as any best-of-the-1950s that you'll buy from Time-Life. Even improbabilities like Cheeko Vass' "Bo-Peep Rock" (the kind of novelty number this reviewer hates) come out okay, played with style, fervor, and a sweaty involvement that makes them better than the material itself. Bob Vidone's "Untrue" kicks off the collection in good form, and it never really lets go. Brock Williams' "What Am I" nearly sinks of its weight, as premature exercise in what later came to be called "identity crisis," but his raunchy singing and a good guitar break overshadow any serious intentions. Pete Cummins' R&B-style "In the Middle of the Night" is one of the more unexpected tracks here. Not everything is quite that good, of course, but everything here has something to recommend it, whether it's lustiness ("Honey Blonde" by Ronnie Elles), raw musicianship ("Bop Hop" by Little Jimmy Dempsey, Ernie Nowlin's "Tally Ho"), raunchiness ("Little Miss Susie" by Eddie Cleary), a great performance (the guitar on Steve Wagoner's "Big And Yellow"), or just a plain good song ("Check That Baby Out, One Time" by Randy Proffitt). Other highlights include: Darrell Rhodes ("Lou Lou," the Bo Diddley rip-off "I Thought About You"), Sonee West ("Sweet Rockin' Baby"), Troy Ferguson ("At the Jamboree"), Eddy Bell ("Johnny Be Goode Is in Hollywood," an unauthorized sequel to the Chuck Berry song), the Elvis imitator Harold Shutters ("Baby Fan the Flame"), Gene Vincent-influenced Jimmy Kirkland ("Come On Baby"), and Jerry Lee Lewis-emulator Marshall Ray Walters ("Willie Willie Willie"), and the honking sax-driven "Rock Baby Rock" by Cliff Ayers -- these all rate more than a listen 40 years after the fact.

New York Dolls - Private World; The Complete Early Studio Demos 1972-73
Demos of songs that later appeared on the New York Dolls' first two albums have been released numerous times over the years, and under countless different titles. The 2006 model goes by the name of Private World, but this 36-track set improves on all the other previous Dolls demo compilations, as it includes every single demo recording from their glory period of 1972/1973. While demo sets are obviously aimed at hardcore fans, there are several worthwhile tracks included here that never made it to either New York Dolls or Too Much Too Soon. The best of these uncommon tunes include several covers in "Don't Mess with Cupid," which really should have made the cut (in fact, with a little sprucing up, it could possibly have served as a breakthrough single for the Dolls) and "(Give Him A) Great Big Kiss." Elsewhere, you'll be treated to rough and rockin' versions of such Dolls' classics as "Trash," "Looking for a Kiss," "Babylon," and "Personality Crisis," which early supporters of the band would probably say are a lot closer to the group's true sound (rather than the versions on their two aforementioned studio albums). If you're looking to dig a bit deeper with the Dolls, Private World is a worthy next step. (Greg Prato, Allmusic)

The Jags - The Best Of The Jags (1980-1981)
**Includes BONUS: Back Of My Hand - Island UK single (#WIP 6501, 6/79)
The absolute greatest from the late '70s & early '80s by this English new wave/ power pop outfit, including 'Back of My Hand'. Contains all of the cuts from both of their albums -a total of 21 tunes.
The Jags are a fondly remembered one-hit wonder of the late-70s U.K. power pop explosion. The quartet was formed in 1978 by the Yorkshire-based songwriting team of Nick Watkins (vocals) and John "Twink" Adler (guitar), with Steve Prudence (bass) and Alex Baird (drums). In July of 1978, they signed to Island Records and released a promising four-track EP. Their debut LP in 1980, Evening Standards, included the memorable, though highly derivative, "Back of My Hand," which had reached the U.K. Top 40 the previous fall. The follow-up, "Woman's World" barely scraped its way on to the charts. Though Evening Standards featured a really solid set of punchy power pop songs, critics focussed instead on Watkins' Costello-like delivery, writing the band off as merely mimics. As steam ran out of the power pop craze, the band attempted to change their sound a bit. 1981's No Tie Like the Present featured a slightly new direction, but it was generally overlooked. By 1982, the Jags had disbanded for good, though "Back of My Hand" had a revival of sorts in the '90s, appearing on several compilations. (Allmusic)

Weldon McDougall III Presents Philly's Northern Soul (Best CD15)
Before the emergence of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Dynodynamic -- the production team of Weldon McDougal III, Luther Randolph, and Johnny Stiles -- was the Philly soul imprimatur to beat. Best known for Barbara Mason's "Yes I'm Ready" and Nella Dodds' "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers," Dynodynamic and its accompanying Harthon label created a graceful, upbeat soul sound that set the stage for the gossamer proto-disco popularized by Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label, and even if few Dynodynamic productions were major hits, records like Eddie Holman's breathtaking "Eddie's My Name" would later enjoy cult immortality via Britain's Northern soul club circuit. Weldon McDougal III Presents Philly's Northern Soul assembles 26 vintage tracks from the Harthon archives, proving the Dynodynamic team a writing and production force of uncommon flexibility and consistency. The six Holman tracks (including "Eddie's My Name") are the clear standouts, but entries from the Volcanos ("It's Gonna Be a False Alarm") and the Four Larks ("Groovin' at the Go-Go") also demand attention.

David Bowie - BOWPROMO (1971, RSD 2017)
In August 1971, David Bowie's manager, Tony Defries had 500 promo LPs pressed to secure Bowie and fellow Mainman artist Dana Gillespie a record deal. This promo album, featuring seven Bowie songs on one Side A and five by Gillespie on the flip is often referred to as the BOWPROMO white label album. It came in generic white outer and inner sleeves, and had no printed labels so its matrix number (BOWPROMO 1A-1/1B-1) is the only way to safely identify it. This Record Store Day release faithfully replicates the original promo, with Bowie's seven tracks on one side, and adds five exclusive Bowie prints. (Limited worldwide release of 15,000.)

The A's - The A's (1979) A Woman's Got The Power (1981)
Although the A’s never quite conquered the rock & roll world like some predicted after the release of their widely-praised debut album in 1979, the band did record two power-pop gems that have withstood the test of time and are presented for the first time on CD by American Beat Records. The A s, who hailed from Philadelphia PA, built their loyal following and reputation as a 'band with chops' around an incredibly manic stage show, with lead singer Richard Bush s wild antics supported by Rocco Notte on keyboards, Rick DiFonzo on guitar, Terry Bortman on bass and Michael Snyder on drums. At a time when the music world was just waking up from the hangover of the Sex Pistols and the numerous punk bands that sprung up in their wake, the A’s approach to music was a little more old-fashioned: three-minute rock & roll songs with catchy hooks that you could dance to. Also, the fact that the band had a wicked sense of humor certainly didn t hurt. In 1978, the band caught the ear of an executive from Arista Records and soon after the A’s were in the recording studio with future hit-maker/producer Rick Chertoff (Cyndi Lauper, the Hooters, Joan Osborne). The 1979 album 'The A’s' resulted, and the critical acclamations started rolling in. In his glowing review, Rolling Stone s David Fricke proclaimed, 'If the A s combination of guts, gimmicks and guffaws is too much fun for one album, it s also too refreshing to be held against them.' After a year of heavy touring to promote the album, yet no radio airplay outside of the Philly market, a more mature A s entered the studio with Chertoff back at the helm (the Motors Nick Garvey also produced three cuts) and a batch of new Notte/Bush-penned tunes. The result, 1981 s 'A Woman s Got The Power', was another power-pop classic, but this time out they did pick up some airplay outside of Philadelphia. The single A Woman’s Got The Power clawed it’s way up to #18 on the mainstream rock charts, but unfortunately the flame was burning out for the A’s. The band did stick together long enough to release one more EP in 1982, but the ride was over and band split up. Interest in the band has continued over the years throughout the power-pop circles, and almost 25 years after its initial release, 'A Woman’s Got The Power' was named one of the '100 Best Philly Albums Of All Time' by Philadelphia Weekly. Until now, neither of the band’s full-length albums has been available on CD, but this American Beat Records exclusive is changing that. So get out your skinny tie, pop this CD in your player, and enjoy an excellent slice of three-chord heaven! (Record Runner)
